Product Descriptions

Your child will interact with science through the many labs and hands-on activities throughout the student worktext.

Student Edition

The Student Edition nurtures the inquisitive side of your child and engages them in new ways. Each grade level covers four distinct units:

Unit A: Science Engineering and Technology

Unit B: Life Science

Unit C: Earth Science

Unit D: Physical Science

Each chapter begins with an engaging question and activity that set up the lessons and focuses your child on the Big Question to consider throughout the chapter. Each lesson within the chapters is embedded with a number of engaging activities and questions that will challenge your child to think deeper about the material. Every chapter ends with an Investigate It! project that ties the lessons together. Additionally, there are vocabulary cards, games, a study guide, and chapter review questions at the end of the chapter.

Teacher’s Edition eText

The Teacher’s Edition is provided in an eText version through the access card included in the homeschool bundle. The Teacher’s Edition eText provides all the instruction content you will need. Lesson plans with instruction notes are provided around a reduced copy of the Student Edition, annotated with answers. Lessons plans detail the time needed for each lesson and provide information to walk you through the material to engage your child, monitor comprehension, and provide extra support where necessary. Content Refresher sections provide you with background on the lesson’s material. The eText will also guide you through the activities within the Student Edition with details about objectives, expectations, materials, time involved, discussion questions, and lab answers.

**Please note the Teacher’s Edition eText is accessible only online and you will not be able to print individual pages.**

The workbooks are a way for children to have fun while growing their science knowledge. They combine hands on engagement with fun science activities while enabling children to learn the skills they need to be successful with their science curriculum. By using materials already familiar and available to kids at home, the lab work and experiments feel less intimidating and more entertaining.

Each hands-on activity presents a child with a challenging question that can be investigated and explored, then answered through lab work and experiments. An answer is reached through exploration of resources, following the individual steps of each activity, collecting data, and then drawing conclusions. After completing the activity as outlined in the workbook, there is an additional opportunity to create your own experiment. This allows the child to design his or her own activities, creating a personalized learning experience and further demonstrating scientific reasoning.

In some instances, parents might need to help children with certain parts of the activity, which turns science into a family affair! The activities in these workbooks will encourage every child to think like a scientist, encourage him or her to be inquisitive, and prepare kids for future lessons in science.

This curriculum has been modified specifically for homeschool families. At times, there may be references to print or digital components that are not included within the homeschool bundle. This will not hinder your child's successful completion of the course.
